Gloucester (1-0-1) over Saugus 2-0

A penalty kick save by Chase Kelly ensured an early Kyle Hurd goal would stand up until Ben Hannah could double the advantage in the second half.

Hurd's goal came in the eighth minute on a powerful right wing solo run capped by a decisive finish. Hannah's goal, a left-footed drive, was assisted by Kevin Hurd who received a pass from Marcos Rodrigues, who refused to go down despite several Sachem tackles.

Aaron Horne found the back of the net late in the match but the referee adjudged Horne to have been in an offside position.

Strong performances by the Fishermen back four, including Isaac Sperry getting his first start of the young season, helped Kelly preserve the shutout.

Earlier in the day the Fishermen JV (0-1-1) fell to the Sachem JV 4-3.

No JV Boys Soccer for Winthrop Vikings

Winthrop High does not have a boys' soccer junior varsity team this year, so the JV games scheduled for Monday, September 21 and Friday, October 23 have been canceled.

Practice will occur as normal unless Coach O'Neill decides otherwise.

(Note: the varsity games are not affected.)

Fishermen Draw with Magicians

The Gloucester High School boys' soccer varsity tied Marblehead 2-2 yesterday afternoon. Marblehead took an early lead before the Fishermen answered with a goal by captain Chris Peritore on a long range pass from captain Anthony LaRocca.

In the second half Gloucester took the lead after excellent build up play by Kyle Hurd and Ben Hannah led well-struck goal by Kevin Hurd. Marblehead equalized on a scrum in front of the Gloucester goal after one of several corner kicks earned by the Magicians.

Both teams had several additional opportunities but neither capitalized with Gloucester enjoying the better opportunities from the run of play and Marblehead looking likely on re-starts and long passes from the back.

Gloucester will look to get back on track hosting Saugus on Friday night at 6:30.
